Two Thousand Years Ago
Hadrian Built A Wall
Fifteen Years Back, You Know
We Lit It Up For All

From Wallsend To Bowness
We Lit The Night With Flares
Seventy Three Miles No Less
A Line Of Fire We Shared

Torch Melted, Burned My Hands
That Was Part Of The Fun
Our Flare Burning So Grand
We Watched The Setting Sun
🔥🏛️🔥
Lighting Hadrian's Wall
History Made For All
